Buying 4-5 yards of fabric for the backing of a quilt can add up fast. Here are some ideas of how you can piece your quilt backing to use up scraps and not have to buy more fabric. Let start with the traditional way to piece the backing fabric of your quilt. Using fabric that is purchased 42-44 inches wide, these are your options:

Using the same fabric for the whole back, you would need anywhere from 3.5 to 5 yards (or even more!) depending on the size of your quilt. To create a fun pieced back to your quilt, I just buy one length of fabric (the length of your quilt, approx. 2 yards) and then use scraps to fill in the rest of the needed width. Here are a few ideas of how to do this:

Now that I’ve got you thinking, I thought you could come up with some of your own ideas. Here is a blank sheet of pretend little quilts for you to doodle on and come up with your own backing patterns.

It was fantastic to see your quilt backing creations! I love doing this and coming up with a new design! I like to use up my scraps as well as fabric isn’t always cheap. My quilting friends always want to look at my quilt backs!! So thankyou so much for sharing your ideas!

I love interesting quilt backs. I’m working on one now. Since I do linear quilting, I am wrestling with how to match up the seams on the quilt top and quilt back…and how to keep the backing panel straight. How is that accomplished?

I saw on another site for sandwiching a quilt that you should fold your top in half and then in half again so it ends up into a quarter fold. Put a pin at the point of the center of all these folds and that will be your center to match up to the backing. Also put a pin at the end of your quilt in the center of the horizontal and vertical fold. Repeat all the same steps with your backing. Then use the pins as guides to line up your center point of the quilt top and backing, the vertical and horizontal center points. Everything should be relatively lined up then.

Hi, I have always considered the backing of a quilt as the B side and worthy of attention. I live in Australia, where summer is 9 months of the year . If I make a quilt it can be 2 colourways in one. Browns on the top and purples on the backing and quilted in brown thread.When the quilt isn’t in use either side can be shown adding interest in any room.
